Police are seeking a man in his 30s who broke into a Wai'anae home last night and held up an elderly man at gunpoint.

The victim, 77, called police after the 9:37 p.m. incident at the Pa'akea Road home. The robber broke open the rear door of the home and confronted the victim, police said.

He took a small amount of cash and fled out the rear door after making the victim lie down on the floor.

The robber reportedly is about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds and has a medium build and fair complexion. He wore a gray tank top and carried a .22-caliber rifle.

Tourist reports Waikiki holdup

A 35-year-old tourist told police last night that he was held up at a Waikiki ATM machine by a man who had just helped him find the machine.

The victim, who had just arrived in Waikiki, said he asked a man where to find a machine. After pointing out the machine at an ABC Store at Kalakaua and Kapahulu avenues, the robber allegedly demanded the $20 withdrawn and displayed what appeared to be a silver knife.

The victim said he followed the robber and another man who joined him but fled after a further confrontation with the suspects.
